If you don't like being waterlogged forget about the wetsuit.
Stink and dampness are almost facts of life with wetsuits.
Plus my feet have seen better days after a few months stuck in funky smelling, always wet, boots. One of my toes is cracked, black, and just shy of rotting away.
You kind of have to try both. "Comfort" is relative. If I could be 100% dry like I often can in waders but fish in the spots I swim to, I would. But, the freedom of a wetsuit is really nice.
Keep watch at Ocean State Job Lot, Sierra Trading Post, etc. You can grab a suit cheap and give it a shot for under $50.
For hot conditions it's a split. With the wetsuit I just jump in and open the neck on my suit. Instant A/C. With waders I just wear less.
